Girl in Calder stabile

Some children were playing, poking their heads through this

Alexander Calder sculpture at the National Gallery and I got this

lovely girl to pose for me.

Nice composition,also like the tonal range and flesh tones

I'm not the expert, but that looks like it would be a great set-up for studio work.

Simply 7/7

Ransforsd, it is a very nice composition, good placement of the girl. what I'm not sure and is a bit distrating my eyes is her hand. I tried to clone it , what do you think?

Thanks for the comments. This girl was part of a beautiful family visiting the museum. She had three brothers playing around the sculpture, but my pictures of them did not work out. It's a great frame, Stephen, but there's nothing like having a great model.

I, too, wondered about the hand. It is possible this is her brother's hand, since they were all playing in this sculpture together. Here's the image without the hand.

When I first pulled up your comment, your image did not show up. How do you like my new version?

Ransford, that is exactly what I thought, you handled it more carfully and better than I did, but it enhanced the composition imo. very nice one!
